Justine Skye

Justine Skye is an amazingly talented R&B singer who has been at the top of her game since finding fame through her internet covers over a decade ago. In that time, she has released three studio albums, five EPs, and numerous singles, gaining tens of millions of streams and fans. Among her most successful tracks to date are her 2018 single, ‘Know Myself’, and the 2014 US R&B Top 40 hit, ‘Collide’, both of which have been streamed over 75 million times. Her most recent releases include her 2022 single, ‘What a Lie’. She has a social media following of nearly 5 million fans and subscribers.

Skye was born in New York City to Jamaican parents. As a teenager in the late Noughties, she began to develop a reputation as a brilliant singer, helped by an unscheduled appearance at a BMI music conference and a role singing on a soundtrack that accompanied the hit 2010 Josh Farrar book, Rules to Rock By. She then began uploading covers to Tumblr and YouTube and hit big when her cover of Drake’s ‘Headlines’ quickly gathered over 2 million views. By the time she turned 20, she was already signed to Atlantic Records, former home to the likes of Aretha Franklin.

Skye’s debut EP, Everday Living, dropped in August 2013 and made a decent impression on the US R&B and Hip-Hop charts, as did the 2015 follow-up, Emotionally Unavailable. In 2016, she began recording for indie labels and continued to grow her audience, having her biggest hit so far in 2018 with ‘Know Myself’. But rest assured, there is plenty more to come.
